Test Report TESTED BY: Josh Jones DATE(S): 21-22 JULY 2015 PURPOSE: The purpose of this test was to determine if a Tagsys P101 RFID reader will have any negative impact on the X26 CEW operation or logging. EQUIPMENT USED: 1 – Tagsys Medio P101 Ethernet Reader 1 – PC with Tagsys Px Explorer Software 1 – PC with EVIDENCE Sync Software 4 – Bare Tagsys RFID tags 10 – TASER X26 CEWs (DOM range of 2004 to 2014) PASSING CRITERIA: There will be no negative impact on the X26 CEW operation or logs when subjected to the RFID scanner reads. TEST SUMMARY: 10 samples X26 CEWs were selected for this test, each running version 24 of the X26 firmware. The following X26 samples were selected for the test;

Serial Number Date of Manufacture (DOM) X00-078230 2004 X00-353534 2007 X00-390640 2008 X00-432861 May 12, 2009 X00-476435 2009 XCE-003409 September 29, 2009 X00-534143 January 20, 2010 X00-602202 December 14, 2010 X00-758136 July 19, 2014 X00-758151 July 29, 2014

Testing was conducted with the X26 CEW in different configurations, with the Medio P101 Reader connected to a PC with Px Explorer software running and actively scanning. The X26 CEWs each had all 4 of the supplied RFID tags attached in the label pocket via tape for each test (see Figures 1-7). One of each tag type was applied with the reverse side facing out. The CEWs were tested in the following configurations;




1. Safe Mode Each X26 CEW was placed in Safe mode, then on the scanner on all 6 sides, while observing for any effect from the scanner. No negative effect from the scanner was observed on any of the samples. The scanner was functional during the testing. The CEW was downloaded after the test and the logs were reviewed. No anomalies were observed in the logs.

2. Armed Mode, Not active Each X26 CEW was armed with the laser and flashlights active, but the high voltage not triggered. Then the CEW was placed on the scanner on all 6 sides, while observing for any effect from the scanner. No negative effect from the scanner was observed on any of the samples. The scanner was functional during the testing. The CEW was downloaded after the test and the logs were reviewed. No anomalies were observed in the logs.

3. Armed Mode, Active Each X26 CEW was armed with the laser and flashlights active, then the trigger was pulled while the CEW was placed on the scanner on 5 sides (electrodes touching the scanner was not tested, as that may damage the scanner), while observing for any negative effect from the scanner. No negative effect from the scanner was observed on any of the samples. The scanner appeared to miss some readings while the X26 CEW was actively arcing, however the scanner continued to read the tags and resumed its normal reads per second when the CEW stopped arcing. The CEW was downloaded after the test and the logs were reviewed. No anomalies were observed in the logs.

4. Time Synchronization and Download Each X26 CEW was place in Safe mode, then a USB pack was inserted. Each sample was placed on the scanner on the side with the RFID tag opposite of the scanner. While actively scanning, each sample X26 CEW was connected via USB to a computer with EVIDENCE Sync software to initiate a time synchronization and CEW download. No negative effect from the scanner was observed on any of the samples. The scanner was functional during the testing. The CEW downloaded successfully in each test and the logs were reviewed for a proper time synchronization and accuracy. The time synchronization on each sample was successful. No anomalies were observed in the logs. CONCLUSION: Of 10 X26 CEW samples testing in the 4 configurations, there were no negative effects observed on any of the CEW samples. A slight decrease in the number of RFID tag reads per second was observed while the CEWs were actively arcing. No other negative observations were made.
